The human brain isn't even appropriate for arithmetic. If we can manage making AI with it, it's nothing short of a miracle. But we might be able to do it, just like you could probably unscrew something with a hammer. It's entirely the wrong tool for the job, but if it's the only tool you have, perhaps you can make it work.

I don't see how this is relevant to the article.
